/ˈtɔːk ʃəʊ//ˈtɔːk ʃəʊ/

The term "talk show" emerged in the early 1950s to describe a new type of television program that featured live or pre-recorded conversations between a host and guests. The term was a contraction of "talk presentation" or "talk program," which had been used in radio broadcasting since the 1930s. The first notable example of a talk show in television was "The Mike Wallace Interview" on NBC in 1951, followed by "The Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts" in 1952 and "The Tonight Show Starring Steve Allen" in 1953. These shows combined elements of entertainment, news, and popular culture, as the hosts and guests discussed current events, politics, and celebrity gossip. The format became increasingly popular in the 1960s and 1970s, with the rise of cable television and the establishment of dedicated talk show networks like Lifetime and E! Entertainment Television. Today, talk shows are a staple of media culture, with shows like Oprah, Ellen, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert attracting millions of viewers worldwide.
